“He asked someone he knows that is close to a cast member to help him,” a source told Us Weekly. “Yes, he criticized ‘SNL’ before, but he’s changed his tune. He wants to make a cameo!”

Spicer, who resigned from the White House post last month, hasn’t been a fan of “SNL” and McCarthy’s “Spicy” performances, calling them “mean.”

“I’m a prankster, I like a good joke,” he told Sean Hannity during a Fox News interview after his July 21 resignation​. “I think when it’s funny, it’s funny. Sometimes it goes from funny to mean. There’s a lot of it that was over the line. It wasn’t funny. It was stupid or silly or malicious.”

But a source close to Spicer told Page Six it couldn’t be further from the truth.
